<<why is it that "refugees" only seem to flee man made economic or political conditions, not natural disasters?>>

Give 'em time, give 'em time.

The Greens have long be angling to add "climate change" as another pretext for asylum scamming, and I believe there is currently a case in NZ where a "climate refugee" was trying it on for the THIRD time --THE SAME GUY FOR THE THIRD TIME!
No doubt he'd be on legal aid or some sort of pro bono arrangement with a legal firm who has an eye on it as a growth industry!

Marilyn Shepherd,
Only while we remain under the rule of UN conventions do we so called refugees have rights.
Get out from this tangle of legal crap and let them fight for their own country just like any Australian would if his freedom was threatened by a dictator.

Lego I've read a few of your comments and I was wondering whether you may be interested in contributing on a new documentary series I am making. .

If interested please contact me on jake.smith@shineaustralia.com

All the best

Jake
